Sobre el Artista

I was born and brought up in a village named Madhura near Vikaramshila University Bihar, which is now Jharkhand. Since childhood I have moved without any restrictions and I saw the visual world through those eyes and I found the visual world very beautiful because it exists and is true. I had chance to see the perpetual flow of water ,reflection of the moon light in the midnight , slothful birds, a jumble of boats, and life around at the river Ganga .It was my tranquil life where I got the vision to see and sense the beautiful world of forms and sounds . Those days sparked my poetic imagination and in appreciation of beauty started expressing my emotion in words . Man karta hai --- Beech sarak par Nanga hokar dour lagaum Duniya mujh ko pagal kahle Mai to digamber ban jaum . ( I feel like shedding all my clothes, And want to run on the road in the buff. Let the world call me crazy; But I would have no clothes except the infinite sky.) Or Vah aati hai nitya--- Yah mai bar-bar dekhta hun Magar nahi ho pati hai bat Bat karna or dekhna Dekhna or bat karna Jane kab hoga eak sath. ( She always comes to me, I often notice this. But no dialogues are exchanges between us. Oh! My luck – When will I get to see and talk to her simultaneously? ) My fascination to writing poems gave me courage and inner support . I enrolled for full time art education at Banaras Hindu University as an entrance topper . I got a gold medal from plastic arts department in 2001 and a master’s degree in creative arts from M.S. University of Baroda 2003.After having academic training in the institution I decided to work as a free - lance artist and since then I have been deeply involved in the creative endeavor as well as risks and hardships involved.
